Nurturing a Child's Soul Hardback - 2000

Even in today's irreverent climate, you can help bring your kids closer to God.

No matter the age or stage of your children, you'll find encouragement as you read Timothy Jones' new book, "Nurturing a Child's Soul." An experienced traveler on the road of parenting and a student and teacher on the subject of the spiritual life, Jones offers unique parenting insights through his "Ten Soul Nourishers." And Jones' delightful stories and gracious wisdom will uplift your spirit as you discover new ways to nourish your child's soul.

As parents, we worry about our kids getting pulled under by our culture's negative currents. We try to shout over the deafening roar of media blitzes, school propaganda, and peer pressure. And we wonder how to raise faithful children.

"Nurturing a Child's Soul" offers you the hope and encouragement you need for any phase of parenting, including such specifics as: Nourishing their belief in a fascinating, life-changing God, Nourishing their need for order, stability, and dependable relationships, Nourishing their spiritual awareness that God is bigger than their fears and anxieties, and Nourishing their God-given sensitivity toward the world around them and those who are hurting.

For parents of older children who sometimes feel they haven't done enough, Jones provides ideas for taking small steps toward communication and intimacy, showing you how to take advantage of teachable moments by fully "focusing on the present."
